Hands-On Houston: Upcycled Bolo Ties


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 02/05/2022
This month, Hands-on Houston returns with an in-person, outdoor making event! Just in time for Go Texan Day, join HCCC to make an iconic Texan accessory–a bolo tie–using reclaimed and recycled materials. If you are new to Texas, a bolo tie is a type of necktie consisting of a piece of cord or braided leather that is secured with an ornamental clasp or slide. In the spirit of reuse, each person will create a unique bolo tie design, while recycling old or worn items that might otherwise be thrown away.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Before you start your project, visit our galleries, and get inspired by the current exhibition, Nothing Goes to Waste, which features works of art made from recycled and repurposed materials.

Note: This activity will take place outside, weather permitting, and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The event is subject to change or cancellation in response to current COVID-19 conditions. All participants must wear a mask when inside the building and practice social distancing.

HANDS-ON HOUSTON is a free drop-in event held the first Saturday of every month. Each month, a teaching artist demonstrates a craft related to the current exhibitions. Families and children of all ages are welcome to come any time between 11 AM and 3 PM and participate in a 15 – 20 minute activity. Materials are provided. This program supports HCCC’s mission to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. Learn more here.

Hands-on Houston is generously supported by Strake Foundation.
